Crystal Palace step closer to signing RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke

Published on: 22 August 2017

Crystal Palace are ready to pounce for RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke.

BILD says Palace are set to move for the Scotland international after he was left out of the weekend clash with Schalke.

Burke had been named in the squad initially, but saw the 2-0 defeat from the stands. His axing only being confirmed just before kickoff.

The decision is expected to now see Burke seek a return to England before next week's transfer deadline.

Palace boss Frank de Boer is keen and will move for the former Nottingham Forest attacker once Andros Townsend is sold to Leicester City.
